# TikTok User Followings API

`GET /v1/tiktok/user-followings`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.captapi.com`
- URL: `https://api.captapi.com/v1/tiktok/user-followings`
- Auth: one of:
  - HTTP bearer
  - API key in header `X-API-Key`

List who a TikTok user follows — id, secUid, createTime, region, language, cursor pagination.

Pass a TikTok profile URL or @handle and get followings as clean JSON: id + secUid, username, displayName, bio, url, followers, following, verified, profileImage, plus createTime/createTimeUnix — and region / language only when TikTok exposes them on the row (keys are omitted, not nulled, when it does not). total is the profile's exact followingCount from statsV2 with totalIsApproximate beside it; cursor pagination via nextCursor + hasMore. Flat 1 credit per call on every path.
